This blueprint guides the design and implementation of necessary changes to align the organization's operating model with its goals and market realities. Here are some key components and considerations of a target operating model: Our Change Impact Assessment service is a crucial process for project and organizational change management. It assesses the potential effects of proposed changes on different aspects of the organization. Here are our services involved in creating a TOM:

Target Operating Model
  • Vision and Objectives: The TOM should begin with a clear definition of the organization's vision, mission, and strategic objectives. It should describe the desired future state of the organization and the outcomes it aims to achieve through the transformation initiative. 
  • Operating Principles: The TOM should establish the guiding principles and values that will shape the organization's operating model. These principles should reflect the organization's culture, priorities, and commitment to stakeholders.
  • Organizational Structure: The TOM defines the organizational structure, including roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships. It specifies how functions, departments, teams, and business units are organized to support the organization's objectives and deliver value to customers.
  • Processes and Workflows: The TOM outlines the key business processes, workflows, and activities required to deliver products or services to customers. It defines standard operating procedures, workflows, and performance metrics to ensure consistency, efficiency, and quality across the organization.
  • Technology and Infrastructure: The TOM identifies the technology platforms, systems, and infrastructure required to support the organization's operations. It outlines the technology roadmap and investments needed to enable digital transformation, innovation, and growth.
  • People and Skills: The TOM addresses the talent, skills, and capabilities required to execute the organization's strategy effectively. It includes plans for recruiting, training, and developing employees to build a high-performing workforce aligned with the organization's goals. 
  • Governance and Decision-Making: The TOM establishes the governance framework, processes, and mechanisms for decision-making, oversight, and accountability. It defines roles and responsibilities for governance bodies, such as the executive team, board of directors, and steering committees.
  • Performance Management: The TOM includes metrics, KPIs, and performance targets to monitor and evaluate the organization's progress towards its strategic objectives. It establishes mechanisms for performance measurement, tracking, and reporting to ensure alignment with the TOM and continuous improvement.
  • Change Management and Implementation: The TOM addresses change management considerations, including communication, stakeholder engagement, and training. It outlines the implementation roadmap, milestones, and dependencies to guide the execution of the transformation initiative.
  • Continuous Improvement: The TOM emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and adaptation to changing market dynamics. It encourages a culture of innovation, agility, and learning, where feedback and insights are used to refine and evolve the operating model over time.

Addressing these challenges requires technical expertise, domain knowledge, and effective collaboration between business users, IT teams, and automation engineers.

Change Impact Assessments

Our Change Impact Assessment service is a crucial process for project and organizational change management. It assesses the potential effects of proposed changes on different aspects of the organization. Here are the steps involved:

  • Identification of changes: The first step is to identify the changes that are proposed or planned within the organization. These changes could be related to processes, systems, structures, policies, or any other aspect of the organization.
  • Stakeholder analysis: Once the changes are identified, it's essential to identify the stakeholders who will be impacted by these changes. This includes internal stakeholders such as employees, managers, and executives, as well as external stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and partners.
  • Impact analysis: The next step is to assess the potential impact of the proposed changes on the identified stakeholders and various aspects of the organization, including processes and workflows, systems and technology, people and roles, organization structure, and culture and behavior.
  • Risk assessment: In addition to assessing the potential benefits of the proposed changes, it's important to identify and evaluate any potential risks or challenges associated with their implementation.
  • Mitigation strategies: Based on the impact analysis and risk assessment, develop mitigation strategies to address any potential negative impacts or risks associated with the proposed changes.
  • Documentation and reporting: Document the findings of the change impact assessment, including the identified changes, stakeholders, impacts, risks, and mitigation strategies. This information should be communicated to relevant stakeholders and decision-makers to inform their decision-making process.
  • Monitoring and review: Finally, monitor the implementation of the proposed changes and regularly review their impact on the organization. This may involve tracking key performance indicators, collecting feedback from stakeholders, and making adjustments to the change management plan as needed.

By conducting a thorough change impact assessment, organizations can anticipate potential challenges, proactively address them, and increase the likelihood of successful change implementation while minimizing disruptions to operations and maximizing the benefits of the changes.

Roles and Authorizations

Our Roles and authorization services play a crucial role in controlling access to system resources
and ensuring the security and integrity of data. Here's an overview of SAP roles and
authorizations: 

  • In SAP, a role is a collection of transactions, reports and other functions assigned to a user or group. Roles define what users can do and determine their access privileges. 
  • Composite roles are collections of multiple single roles, while single roles contain specific sets of transactions, reports or functions. 
  • Authorizations define the specific actions a user can perform and are assigned to roles. Authorization profiles are collections of authorization objects and their associated field values.
  • SAP follows the role-based access control (RBAC) model, where access privileges are granted to users based on their roles and responsibilities within the organization. 
  • The Profile Generator (PFCG) is an SAP tool used to create, maintain and assign roles and authorizations to users.
  • Segregation of Duties (SoD) controls prevent conflicts of interest and reduce the risk of fraud or errors. 
  • Regular auditing of roles and authorizations helps organizations identify security risks and ensure adherence to best practices.

Addressing these challenges requires technical expertise, domain knowledge, and effective collaboration between business users, IT teams, and automation engineers. By understanding these challenges and implementing best practices, organizations can overcome obstacles and realize the full benefits of SAP automation.
